Yesterday’s Issues, Today’s Perspectives, Tomorrow’s Lessons: Oral Histories and New Historical Perspectives from the 10th Grade at the Academy for Young Writers

This book, Yesterday’s Issues, Today’s Perspectives, Tomorrow’s Lessons, revolves around eight historical events and the controversial issues and different points of view that come along with them. These issues are surrounded by passionate arguments and strongly held differences of opinion. In a country where freedom of speech is so strongly valued and exercised, the fact that no two people will ever think exactly alike is obvious but can also become problematic.
